Recent research suggests that many adolescents hold unrealistic and idealised beliefs about the likely consequences of pregnancy and parenthood. Such attitudes potentially play an important role in the aetiology of adolescent pregnancy. Disillusionment with reality may also contribute to postnatal depression, domestic violence and child abuse. This paper reports on the development of a scale to measure the prevalence of such beliefs. The scale was administered to a sample of 1546 Australian adolescents. Between one-quarter and one-third of the sample exhibited idealised beliefs, with males having higher levels of idealization. On factor analysis, the idealization construct comprised an overestimation of positive aspects and an underestimation of negative ones. Subjects reported that very few of their beliefs derived from formal educational input.
近期研究表明，许多青少年对怀孕和为人父母可能产生的后果持有不切实际且理想化的观念。这种态度可能在青少年怀孕的病因学中起到重要作用。对现实的幻想破灭也可能导致产后抑郁、家庭暴力和虐待儿童。本文报告了一个用于测量此类观念流行程度的量表的编制情况。该量表被施用于1546名澳大利亚青少年样本。四分之一到三分之一的样本表现出理想化观念，其中男性的理想化程度更高。在因子分析中，理想化结构包括对积极方面的高估和对消极方面的低估。受试者报告称，他们的观念中很少有来自正规教育的影响。
